Additional floor in Kuwait - Salmiya

Additional floor in Salmiya

Adding a floor to a mixed residential-commercial building in Salmiya requires clear separation of units and assessment of the existing foundation under new loads. We deliver the new storey with service systems independent and fully integrated.

What sets this area apart

Commercial-residential buildings in Salmiya sit on narrow plots near Gulf Road, mostly five to six storeys with shops at ground level. Foundations are usually reinforced concrete on columns, but the added load of a new floor may require full foundation assessment and calculation of expected settlement. Service networks differ between the commercial and residential units, so we separate water, electrical and drainage from the frame stage; any later merger means breaking concrete. The tight location needs external scaffolding and protection for neighbouring buildings throughout execution.

Salmiya sits in Hawalli governorate, a district of closely built commercial-residential buildings on narrow plots near Gulf Road.

Permitted foundation settlement after adding a floor does not exceed one centimetre unless a special staged engineering plan is approved.

Questions about Additional floor in Salmiya

Call now
Do we need a new municipality permit to add a floor to an existing building?

Yes, and separate approvals too. You need an engineering modification request to the municipality with new structural, foundation and services drawings, plus Civil Defence clearance for safety.

Does the new floor affect service distribution to the lower units?

It can, if we do not plan separation from the start. We run new pipes or use separate lines for the new floor so we do not interrupt or alter existing service routes.

Have a plot, or a house to renovate?
